    Good game but very disappointing story mode compare to the other Budokais!! number 2 and 3 were the best in Z chronicles and a long story mode with loads of characters. Burst limit is limited in characters and stories so leaves you with completing the game in less than 2 days... However the online battle are fantastic for the exception to players quiting matches right before they die !!!

Recommend the game if you are looking for online gaming and international battles.… Expand

    Good looking continuation on a budokai style of gameplay, good graphics, good combo/battle system.
    Pretty mutch everything fans love, BUT a very short story mode and serious luck of content and characters.
    If not huge love for chalanging battle it would be 5.9. but as it was fun it deserves what it gets.

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit

    Game-play:It plays just like the Budokai games of the series but it is a big step back from the DBZBT3,the game have some very good combos. Story:The story is the normal dragon ball z story but it ends in the android saga and have very little missions it took me only 2 and half to 3 hours to complete. Graphics:They are good very beautiful. Notes:The    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit isn't an awesome game but offers a few hours of pure fun and this is a big positive point of this game,but unfortunately it has several major flaws and for that reason I think is a good game but not great!!!!!

    The game is really short and stops with the Broly saga. Its also a bummer that i mis a lot of characters. Its really a nice game but I expected so much more from this title on the ps3 or xbox360.

    Its a huge step backwards from Budokai Tenkaichi 3, if you still have your PS2, you might want go play Budokai instead, its much better.

    The story was very short compared to other DBZ game i played, but the offline multiplayer was enjoyable. There were better DBZ in my opinion so i must give it a 6. The lack of characters was a weak point also.

    Looking back i can certainly see why more than a few people hate Burt Limit. The story mode feels very underwhelming and the content is definetly lacking, even compared with the very first Budokai title on the PS2. Even so, when it comes to the game itself and it´s mechanics, it´s surprisingly pretty solid. While it isn´t anything revolutionary it can be pretty darn fun, especially withLooking back i can certainly see why more than a few people hate Burt Limit.

Although it´s clear that Burst Limit wasn´t finished, considering how cheap you can find it today, i´d say that it´s worth it for the combat and graphics alone.… Expand

    It's nice to play a game that manages to be fun for the hardcore and casual alike. [Summer 2008, p.48]

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit managed to really impress me. It's not perfect but it's a fast, over-the-top fighter that's an absolute blast. The single-player Z Chronicles mode is perfect for hardcore fans and the multiplayer options are good enough that you'll want to call your friends over for a few matches.

    Get rid of the drama, though, and Burst Limit becomes a delight. [July 2008, p.78]
